When I first stayed with Estelle in Paris I remember her using two phrases that still to this day I love - the first ca m’est egal (I don’t care) and the other j’en ai marre (I’m fed up). Last week was most definitely a marre week. The grey cloud above my head made every […]

So having been resorted to listening to a recap of the Australian Grand Prix, the starting race of the 2008 Formula 1 season, I apparently missed rather a good race. And when I say good I mean rather interesting. Six cars finished the race, that would be six out of twenty-one, which gives you some […]

Yet another piece of Fort Wayne culture and history slipping away. Nancy wrote a good post about it and said everything I would wish to say, only much better and more succinctly. As previous owner of my house I keep hoping remnants of her ghost will infuse in me the skill and natural ability to […]

In all my getting caught up with other stuff in life, only a comment from Mr. Stouder brought me back to reality. I was completely unaware there were only 10 days until the opening race of the 2008 F1 season. Where have I been? How can this be? I’ve written not a word about Signor […]

My blog may start to become a little bit medical over the next few posts, mainly because my recovery process is not going quite as we had expected. Infectious Diseases are still running tests on all my blood smears, etc but still have no answer or diagnosis as to what caused this. And as we’ve […]
